How To Clean Leather Car Seats

Cleaning Leather Car Seat

 

There’s nothing like sitting inside a new car with leather upholstery. With the proper leather seat care, you can keep that feeling going for years to come. The service center staff at Dale Earnhardt Jr Buick GMC likes to help our Thomasville, GA customers keep their cars looking great. So, we’ve put together a handy guide below on how to clean leather car seats.

Leather Seat Care

Proper leather seat care means two things: using the right materials and keeping your car out of the sun, especially during our hot Crawfordville summers. Follow these tips:

Leather Seat Care Tips

  • Use the right materials to clean your car’s leather, like saddle soap, leather cleaner or conditioner, and microfiber cloths.
  • Avoid using sharp objects, household cleaner, dark cloths, detergents, or furniture polish on the leather.
  • If you can keep your car parked in a garage, under a carport, or under a shade tree, do so.
  • If you have to keep your car parked in the sun, consider buying some inexpensive car shades that you can place in your windshield and on your windows.
  • Clean leather seats regularly and in the right way!

How to Clean Leather Car Seats the Right Way

Your seats will last longer with regular cleaning using the right materials. Follow these steps to clean your leather seats properly:

How to Clean Leather Car Seats

  • Gather all of your supplies – vacuum cleaner, saddle soap or other leather cleaner, leather conditioner, two microfiber cloths or a soft-bristled brush
  • Gently vacuum the seats, taking care not to rub any dirt in
  • Test the cleaner on a small spot that can’t be easily seen. If the spot is discolored, don’t use the cleaner.
  • Spray the cleaner on a microfiber cloth (not the seat), and apply
  • Gently rub in the leather conditioner. If your seats are perforated, take care not to let cleaner or water get trapped in the tiny holes.
